BBO_Convention Card_EDIT_Jan_23_2021.txt

 

 

 

SHOWS HOW TO :

 

 

 

Create Master ACBL BBO Convention Card used in Cloning

 

Clone Master ACBL BBO ( Personal Card ) , for your many Partners you play with

 

Using TITLE, NAMES, and Partner - Boxes to Differentiate each Partner and Card

 

Fine Tune and Edit Different Conventions used for Different Partners

 

Deleting OLD Clutter of OLD unused Convention Cards under Personal Cards

 

Printing and Saving and emailing your ACBL Convention card PDF Copies by partner

 

NOTE: Person with Convention CARD Should Invite Partner, so CARD loads properly in Game !!!

 

 

 

 

 

Helpful BBO Convention Card HINTS

 

EDIT, CLONE, SAVE, Delete Dupes, Save As PDF, eMail

 

 

 

Example Process :

 

 

 

General Info :

 

 

 

1. I Used the the ACBL SAYC template for Convention Card

 

Easier to use and quickly Find Info in a Fast Pace Game

 

Everyone is used to it from Club Play.

 

 

 

2. I ignored the "Book Style" Convention Card templates

 

Most Flight "C" or Novice players have never seen before.

 

This puts weaker players at a disadvantage for online games.

 

"Book Style" Takes too Long to Read in a fast Pace game.

 

Easier to look at checkmarks and Fields, on a Standard ACBL card.

 

For those with English as a Second Language, "Book Style" is BAD.

 

 

 

MY MASTER Convention Card ( Favorite ACBL card )

 

 

 

3. Using the ACBL SAYC template I made my most common card I use.

 

I entered MY most Standard Conventions I like. I did a careful EDIT.

 

I saved my MASTER ( Favorite ) card with a Good Title

 

Title: "Favorite KERNSY- SA. JAN 2021"

 

 

 

CLONE the MASTER Convention Card for each BBO Partner

 

 

 

4. I then Opened the Master Copy and Cloned a Copy of MASTER, for each Partner !!

 

I changed the TITLE BOX with date and SA plus, My Name & Name of Partner.

 

On the Names: BOX I entered real firstnames, or BBO Names

 

In the PARTNER BOX, I put Their BBO name of MY Partner

 

SAVE Changes > Then BACK

 

Clone the Master ACBL SAYC Favorite Card again for next BBO Partner !

 

 

 

NOTE:: The PARTNER BOX is Critical ! DO NOT Duplicate the same person twice.

 

 

 

NOTE: Close BBO before trying to Delete OLD Convention Cards , LOGIN to BBO

 

 

 

5. After EDITS, Close BBO

 

Login to BBO Account > Convention cards

 

Under Personal Cards, Select Old Convention cards , Double-Click on card

 

Use the DELTE KEY , then OK to erase each Old Convention Card

 

 

 

NOW: FINE TUNE Each Cloned Convention Card for DIFFERENT PARTNERS

 

 

 

6. Login BBO ; Account > Convention Cards

 

Open desired card by looking at Partner BBO name in Personal Cards

 

Edit Changes , SAVE Changes , BACK if done.

 

Card will LOAD Automatically into BBO, each time you both Login to win Master Points

 

NOTE: Person with Convention CARD Should Invite Partner, so CARD loads properly in Game !!!

 

 

 

NOW SHARE your Convention Cards with each Different Partner
